American VS English

[MichelleParlier]

I personally know about this dog because I was actively involved in the thread. I also know Axel's current owner. In addition, I have been very involved in the AM/EM "debates" for several years.

I do find it interesting that this original thread was regarding American VERSUS English Mastiff. As there are MANY more posts on that particular forum regarding negative behavior of the EM, I find it a bit interesting that you only you chose to post a negative AM thread.


....just my personal observation.

First ratio of EM post to AM post? So saying you see more EM issue post than AM posts, is like saying more people watched a Pro football team sunday, than the local high school team friday.
2nd sorry, flat out the ckc is the petshop pedirgee pro's.
3rd for a set breed with a standard, why are the looks by AMBC approved breeders all over the place.

I do agree with you, TWW, about the "looks" being non-consistent. While I did mention that I am visiting an American Mastiff breeder in July, I am also currently researching a reputable English Mastiff breeder in my state as well, who performs health testing (including cystinuria on their studs) and has brindle dogs in their breeding program. I'm a sucker for a great brindle.

Either way, I'm looking for a dog that will fit with my family. We'll see how it pans out. A little homework goes a long way.
